## Minestarters Atlas summary

Aeonian Resources reported initial drill results from its Koocanusa Project in British Columbia, confirming a copper-silver system. The first hole, KOO26-01, intersected modest copper mineralization and localized higher-grade silver and mercury zones, providing geological vectoring toward higher-priority targets.

Reasoning: Initial drill results from a distal test hole confirm the presence of a copper-silver system and provide geological vectoring, despite modest grades.

- Positive factor: confirmed mineralized copper-silver system

- Positive factor: geological vectoring toward higher-priority targets

- Positive factor: presence of oxidation fronts consistent with model

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Negative factor: modest copper grades

- Negative factor: program limited by seasonal access

Facts used in scoring: 14

## Classification and evidence

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release includes details on internal and external QA/QC, including duplicates, standards, and blanks, with ALS laboratory accreditation.

Evidence · text

> Aeonian implements a rigorous internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of duplicates, certified reference materials \(standards prepared by an independent lab\) and blanks

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The hole successfully intersected the outer limits of the system, providing vectoring toward higher-priority targets.

Evidence · text

> successfully intersected the outer limits of the system, providing clear vectoring toward higher-priority targets

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

Confirming · copper

#### Identity

- Hole ID: and
- Project: Confirming
- Commodity: copper
- Region: canada\_bc
- Reported Region: canada\_bc
- Ticker: ALTN

#### Geometry

- Grade: 438
- Grade Unit: ppm
- Intercept: 1 m
- From: 198 m
- To: 197 m
- Intercept Depth: 198 m

#### Classification

- Sample Type: drill
- Group ID: and:198-197
- Mining Method: unknown

#### QA/QC

- Laboratory: ALS
- QA/QC Disclosed: Yes
- Lab Certified: Yes
- QP Signed: Yes
- QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-05-05T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table: 438 ppm copper, reported in a unit the rubric does not cover \(%\).

- Negative factor: Grade unit ppm does not match the copper rubric unit %; not scored.

Confirming · silver

#### Identity

- Hole ID: and
- Project: Confirming
- Commodity: silver
- Region: canada\_bc
- Reported Region: canada\_bc
- Ticker: ALTN

#### Geometry

- Grade: 0.95
- Grade Unit: g/t
- Intercept: 1 m
- From: 198 m
- To: 197 m
- Intercept Depth: 198 m

#### Classification

- Sample Type: drill
- Group ID: and:198-197
- Mining Method: unknown

#### QA/QC

- Laboratory: ALS
- QA/QC Disclosed: Yes
- Lab Certified: Yes
- QP Signed: Yes
- QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-05-05T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 0.95 g/t silver is below against the default band \[500, 200, 100, 30\] g/t. Grade×width 0.9 g/t·m is below.

- Negative factor: 0.95 g/t silver is below the weak threshold \(30 g/t\) on the default band.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
